Career Karma

Career Karma operates a consumer-facing platform for discovering and comparing career training programs. Prospective students answer a short set of questions about their background, interests and career goals, and the platform matches them with training programs in its partner network based on factors such as financial needs, learning style and study pace. Users can also speak with an advisor via a chat function.

The platform spans both technology and non-technology vocational fields. Advertised subject areas include artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data analytics, data science, design and software engineering, alongside skilled trades such as commercial driver's license (CDL) training and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC). Program attributes highlighted to users include flexible learning formats, career services, financing options and money-back guarantees.

Alongside the matching product, Career Karma publishes a large library of editorial and research content, including bootcamp rankings (for example best coding, online, data science, cybersecurity and digital marketing bootcamps), school profiles, side-by-side school comparisons, career path pages, subject guides, location-based listings, and resources on bootcamp preparation and paying for tuition through options such as deferred tuition, scholarships and the GI Bill.
